The first business day of the new year passed quickly and AAVE was the cryptocurrency giant that gave the last good news of the day. One of the biggest players in the DeFi world AAVE announced the new management vote. Since this announcement contains details that will increase demand for the altcoin, the price continues the day above $161 with an increase of more than 5%.
AAVE Last Minute
The announcement shared to evaluate the targets and current situation for 2026 includes the good news of revenue sharing. Stani In the announcement he shared recently, it was announced that a vote will be held to distribute non-protocol revenues to the community.
“In light of recent conversations in the community, Aave Labs is committed to sharing revenue generated outside the protocol with token holders. Compliance is important to us and AAVE holders, and we will soon submit a formal proposal with specific structures for how this will work.”
It makes sense for AAVE price to rise as things like token distribution or revenue sharing increase demand for altcoins. We may see the rise accelerate with the voting announcement, details of which will come in the coming days.
There was not only good news in the announcement, Stani also talked about his concerns about the future and said that they had to act quickly. What he has in mind is that they can achieve their goals with faster growth in areas other than crypto.
“We are at an inflection point. Aave has grown in DeFi, and that foundation is critical to our success, but I am concerned about our future growth trend. The current DeFi market will continue to grow, and we will continue to serve and innovate in that market. However, there are much larger opportunities that we must pursue simultaneously. I am also concerned about the pace of innovation in the Aave ecosystem. We are optimizing for a market that, although profitable, represents only a fraction of the opportunities ahead of us.”
Today, most of Aave’s loans are ETH, BTC or centers around leverage-driven cycle strategies associated with crypto market cycles. When I founded Aave (initially as ETHLend) in 2017, my vision was to support lending across nearly all asset classes and use cases using smart contracts.
We are still a long way from this vision. Aave’s future in the coming decades RWAs I believe it has the potential to support a $500 trillion asset base through and other assets and onboard tens of millions of users through the Aave App. Capitalized TradFi companies and institutions are entering the crypto market, and we must maintain our dominance in DeFi as we expand into new markets.
Focusing solely on our current market will not bring the best long-term outcome for the protocol and token holders. “This is not an insurmountable problem, but it needs to be prioritized and addressed.”
